I thinks it the other way around. Bones and Softer tissue heal naturally without magic even proper care. Nerves do not just mend themselves naturally. Mab accelerated bone and disc healing and magic bridges the nerves until Harry's "wizard healing" completes the process if it can at all.

Her physical presence in Chicago meant that an unseasonably long and cold winter sat on the area until she left.....how does that not represent the "actual" season of winter? Her presence directly effected the "actual" season of Winter. That implies she's pretty deeply tied to it.
--- Quote from: King Ash on December 19, 2012, 09:49:31 PM --- but I have seen nothing to suggest that she gets incapacitated during summer the way mother winter did in SF.

Except how keeping herself dominant in the physical world so far into Spring and pushing into Summer to keep Harry alive taxed her to the point of making her look like an insect instead of a woman? And that Harry even comments to her about how she was pushing herself by staying around when it was becoming the time of Summer.

Her mainlining off winters source works just as well for her changing the seasons. Just by being there she draws energy from winter to the mortal realm.
I would say that spending months in our world instead of Faerie attempting to keep Harry alive taxed her rather than what season it is. The source of Winter being in decline due to the season giving her less access to her power works as well.

*shrugs* I'm not buying that logic but ok, to each his own. Seeing as the winter was early and unusually cold during the events of Small Favor as well, when she was just hanging out to give Harry and edge seems to suggest that Winter follows her. Hell Bob even pointed that fact out to Harry.
HateEgo:
Since we're on the subject of Mab's power during different seasons. Did anyone consider that to Mab and Titania the changing of seasons if just a shift in Where they have more power? After all, while it may be Summer in Chicago it's Winter somewhere else. In a technical sense the Lady's have no clear dominion anywhere, the Queens trade continents twice a year, and the Mothers live in a single cottage. I think there is some symmetry there. Thoughts?
